Health equity aims to provide fair opportunities for all people to attain their full health potential, while acknowledging that historically disadvantaged groups have faced greater obstacles to health. Health inequities refer to unfair and avoidable differences in health outcomes, especially between more and less advantaged social groups. Addressing social determinants of health, like housing, education, and discrimination, is important to promote health equity and reduce health inequities.
